Ukip’s MEP David Coburn their leader in Scotland Drags Ukip’s Reputation In The Gutter with his bullying and boorish behaviour.

Hi,

anyone who believes that Ukip’s leader in Scotland David Coburn is anything other than an ill mannered, odious, ignorant boer can readily disabuse themselves by accessing his interview on TV on the night of the Scottish devolution vote.

On that night David Coburn made a fool of himself and Ukip with his ill informed bullying and abusive comments, judging by his florid and sweating appearance alcohol fueled in a manner that brought Ukip into disrepute.

At the time, although David Coburn had been elected as Ukip’s MEP in Scotland, based on the votes obtained by Ukip in Scotland rather than any personal support, David Coburn boasted of being domicile in London and had no home or residency in Scotland.

Ukip politician David Coburn has been indefinitely banned from Wikipedia after attempting to alter an article about himself 69 times in six days.

The ‘David Coburn MEP’ user account was blocked by an administrator at the online encyclopedia last month after repeatedly trying to make edits to the website’s article on Coburn, who has a reputation for making controversial comments.

Coburn, the Ukip MEP for Scotland, told the Guardian he had directed one of his staff to make the changes in order to clear the page of “garbage” and “nonsense”.

“David Coburn MEP” began altering the page on 1 April this year, removing a passage stating that Coburn had allegedly muddled the name of SNP candidate Tasmina Ahmed Sheikh repeatedly during the 2014 European parliament campaign.

Sheikh had accused Coburn of calling her “Pashmina, Jasmine and Tamzin before eventually settling on a combination of ‘love’, ‘dear’ and ‘honey’,” and that she had found the remarks to be sexist and possibly racist. At the time, Ukip’s Scottish chairman denied Coburn had repeatedly mispronounced Sheikh’s name, saying he had only mispronounced it once. Coburn told the Guardian that Sheikh’s allegation was “nonsense”.

Three minutes after Coburn removed the passage it was reinserted by another user. One minute later, Coburn removed it again.European parliament urged to act over Ukip MEP’s ‘Islamophobic insult’Read more

These were the first of dozens of changes over the following six days encompassing a number of factual disputes, including whether Coburn lived in Edinburgh or London, whether he attended the High School of Glasgow or a high school in Glasgow, and whether he had said ever stated he would “work closely with the so-called London elite” (Coburn says he did not). He also repeatedly tried to add a statement that there was “no material difference” between civil partnerships and gay marriage to his article.

The MEP’s edits were interpreted by other users as breaching one of the site’s rules on conflicts of interest, defined as when users alter articles to make them more favourable to themselves.

Wikipedia also prohibits users from engaging in “edit wars”, in which different users repeatedly delete each other’s contributions. During one particularly intense dispute, Coburn was accused by another user of getting into an edit war with himself and repeatedly deleting his own changes.

Coburn left a number of notes on the website complaining that other users were disregarding his own account of his life.

“I am David Coburn MEP – I am aware of where I live – I live in Edinburgh – I am also aware of where I went to school & which University I attended – there are several people changing the facts and they need to stop,” he wrote.Nigel Farage: the English are biggest victims of racism because of ScotsRead more

He later added: “Apparently I dont know where I live nor which school I attended or the University I attended – is there anything else you would like to update me on?” and suggested he would complain to Wikipedia about people editing his article maliciously.

The account was first blocked for a limit of 31 hours (“after many, many warnings” according to one administrator) but later blocked indefinitely.Advertisement

When contacted by the Guardian, Coburn said he had started editing the page after spotting mistakes on it, but that he had stopped after getting bored.

“I hear it gets changed all the time. Personally I don’t give a damn what people write about me. People write the most colourful things about me and I’ve got the hide of a rhino and I don’t really give a damn,” he said.

“I’m sure its all wee cybernats who’ve got nothing better to do with their time and they should actually be out getting a job.”

Asked if he had followed through on his threat to complain, Coburn replied: “Did we complain in the end? Did I bother? I can’t remember. I don’t think we could be bothered. I think I’ve got too much on my plate. It’s one of those things I meant to do and never bothered.”

Asked about specific changes, he said that it was a month ago and he did not remember the details of what was changed.

“It was done by one of my people. I don’t know how to press the buttons to make it work. I was telling them what to do. If there was garbage on there I told them to take it off,” he said.

The top brass of UKIP’s Scottish branch showed up to a church-organised, constituency #GEC2015 hustings and behaved like noxious bullies.

David Coburn’s performance as an MEP in the EU is relatively mediocre rating 45th out of the British MEPs and 124th out of the 751 MEP total!

It is my opinion that the crass and boorish behaviour of David Coburn since his election as an MEP and leader of Ukip in Scotland has done more harm to Ukip, particularly in Scotland than even his predecessors such as Christopher Monkton ever did or even that done by the outspoken Zionist based racism of Malcolm Lord Pearson or the superstition based racism of Gerard Batten!
